“…Use of this equation involves obtaining a relatively small difference between two large numbers because AHo~ is negative, q and Rco 2 are both positive and highly correlated, and q and the quantity (l- Sq/q and SRco2/Rco2 must both be < 1%. Our experience is that the variablility inherent in plant tissues causes these errors to range from about 5% for field samples down to about 1% for carefully controlled, laboratorygrown samples (Hansen et al 1989;Hopkin 199l;Anekonda 1992;Hansen et al 1992;Anekonda et al 1994).

“…Within a species, considerable variability exists among individual genotypes in all three measures of respiratory rate considered here as well as in substrate carbon conversion efficiency (e.g. Wilson 1975;Yamaguchi 1978;Robson 1982;Wilson 1982;Wilson and Jones 1982;Amthor 1989;Geider and Osborne 1989;Poorter et al 1990;Anekonda 1992;Hansen et al 1992Hansen et al , 1989Anekonda et al 1994). These traits have rarely been used as selection criteria, however, because previous methods for their measurement are difficult to apply.…”

Abstract.A thermodynamic model describing the relation between plant growth and respiration rates is derived from mass-and enthalpy-balance equations. The specific growth rate and the substrate carbon conversion efficiency are described as functions of the metabolic heat rate, the rate of CO2 production, the mean oxidation state of the substrate carbon produced by photosynthesis, and enthalpy changes for conversion of photosynthate to biomass and CO2. The relation of this new model to previous models based only on mass-balance equations is explored. Metabolic heat rate is shown to be a useful additional measure of respiration rates in plant tissues because it leads to a more explicit description of energy relations. Preliminary data on three Zea mays (L.) cultivars are reported. The model suggests new rationales for plant selection, breeding and genetic engineering that could lead to development of plants with more desirable growth rates.

“…ln this study, we measured foliar metabolic heat rate to assess respiration rate. Metabolic heat rate (the rate of heat production by respiration) indicates total metabolism of the tissue with an ernphasis on the oxidation reaction (Criddle et al 1991;Hansen et al 1992). Measurernent of metabolic heat rate detects heat loss due to thermodynamic inefficiency in metabolic reaction.…”

We investigated the effects of acid rain and ozone on respiration rates of 1‐year‐old and current‐year foliage of half‐sib seedlings and mature clones of a ponderosa pine genotype by measurement of foliar metabolic heat rates. Two rain regimes (pH 5‐1 and 3‐0) were applied weekly to foliage only, from January to April 1992. Two ozone regimes (ambient and twice‐ambient) were applied from September 1991 to November 1992. Metabolic heat rate was measured in April on 1‐year‐old foliage, in June on both 1‐year‐old and current‐year foliage, and in November on current‐year foliage in 1992. Except for current‐year foliage in June, the metabolic heat rate was calculated per unit of both foliar dry mass and N mass. In seedlings, both measures of metabolic heat rate increased in late June for 1‐year‐old foliage exposed to twice‐ambient ozone, and in November for current‐year foliage exposed to the combination of twice‐ambient ozone and pH 3‐0 rain. In mature trees, metabolic heat rate was not affected significantly by ozone, rain acidity, or their interaction. In June, when both 1‐year‐old and current‐year tissues were examined, the metabolic heat rate of expanding, current‐year foliage was higher than that of fully expanded, 1‐year‐old foliage regardless of plant age or treatment combination.

“…Many investigations have demonstrated strong correlations between respiration rates and growth rates (e.g. Wilson & Jones 1982;Geider & Osborne 1989;Hansen et al 1989Hansen et al , 1992Anekonda et al 1990Anekonda et al ,1993Poorter, Remkes & Lambers 1990;Thornley & Johnson 1990). However, as Amthor (1989) has stated, 'the precise nature of the relationship between growth and respiration ... is unknown'.…”

The relation between growth rate traits (height, basal diameter, stem volume and branch diameter) and two measures of respiration rate [metabolic heat rate (q) and CO2 production rate (Rco2)] and their ratio (q/Rco2) was examined on a collection of 192 different genotypes of coast redwoods [Sequoia sempervirens (D.Don) Endl.]. Branch diameter was not correlated with any of the respiratory measures, but the other three growth traits gave highly significant (P < 0.001) correlations with positive slopes. Combining the four growth traits and the three respiratory variables (q, RCo2 and q/Rco2) to give two canonical variates, one representing growth and one representing respiration, gives an even stronger linear correlation (r= 0–85). These data suggest that simultaneous assay of multiple respiratory measures on juvenile trees can be used to predict their longer‐term growth rates.
